Wesley is ten months into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm ten months into recovery from prescription-drug dependence. I attend meetings and see a counselor, but the weeks between meetings are the hardest. I'd love a mentor - someone who has a year or more of recovery and who would be willing to talk once a week.
I'm not looking for a replacement for treatment. I'm looking for someone who understands what a bad Tuesday night feels like.
I'd prefer someone who's happy to do video calls. Any country is fine. I'll be respectful of your time and boundaries, and happy to pay it forward later.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
Wishing you the best, Wesley. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Toronto
